Frequently
asked questions
Everything you need to know about robotic-assisted dental implant surgery.
What is Yomi?
Yomi is a robotic system that assists your surgeon in planning and performing dental implant procedures with precision. Yomi combines advanced imaging, planning software, and robotic guidance designed for precise implant placement, optimal healing and better outcomes. That means a more efficient path to your ideal smile.
Is robotic surgery safe?
Doctors have placed over 100,000 implants across the country. Yomi is trusted by dental providers across the U.S. to perform implant surgery safely and accurately. Yomi doesn’t move autonomously, but instead is controlled by your surgeon to provide predictable accuracy, allowing for less invasive procedures and a faster recovery.*
*Yomi provides repeatable surgical precision. Yomi robotic guidance allows for flapless procedures in more cases. Flapless procedures have faster recovery than open flap procedures. Based on published clinical studies found at neocis.com/clinical-evidence
How does the procedure work?
Your surgeon creates a detailed 3D plan using YomiPlan software before your procedure. During surgery, the Yomi robot guides the placement of your implant according to the plan, providing real-time feedback to the doctor that prevents off-plan movements. The entire process is designed for maximum efficiency, accuracy and healing.
What is recovery like?
Yomi allows minimally invasive surgery with smaller incisions, which can minimize discomfort and speed up recovery compared to traditional implant surgery.* Recovery varies by individual, and your surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions tailored to your situation.

Is Yomi autonomous?
Yomi doesn’t move autonomously, but instead it is controlled by your doctor to complete surgery precisely to plan. The doctor controls the handpiece, while robotic guidance simply prevents positional and angular deviations, and stops the drill tip from going beyond the desired depth. That means Yomi is designed for more efficient and reliable implant placement that delivers optimal healing.*

Does insurance cover Yomi?
Like with other dental implant modalities, your procedure may sometimes be covered by insurance or financing plans. Coverage and availability varies between providers, so please go to our Provider Finder to find doctors in your area.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Fixed implant bridges are more stable than dentures, and it can prevent bone loss. Dental implants can last a lifetime, improving your confidence and allowing you to eat your favorite food or do what you like. With the robotic precision of Yomi, your surgeon can restore your smile quickly, accurately, and with less invasiveness.*

What are the most common disadvantages of dental implants?
Patients who received dental implant surgery have noted long recovery times, swelling, and discomfort due to more invasive procedures.
Due to its unmatched precision and planning, Yomi robotic guidance allows for less invasive procedures, less discomfort, and faster recovery.*
